    Trust me, I said the same thing about David De Gea when he was ''struggling'' in his first couple of years at Manchester United.

    To be fair to him, He did help us to win the league in the 2010/11 season, I was a big fan of his when he was at Manchester United.

    Definitely, can't look beyond Kante, the guy is worth a league title in himself it seems! And if Arsenal aren't always going to finish above Spurs, maybe Kante is<whistle>

    No offense Matth but you say it about every Utd player, law of averages says you'll get one right from time to time.

    Bit more than that.

    Question is, is he as good as Victor Wanyama?

    Wanyama absolutely battered him at White Hart Lane, but nobody else has.
    Probably the only bad game that I've seen Kante have this season, since Chelsea's change of system.

    Close him down, if you can, and you stop a lot of Chelsea's play.

    last season I posted about Kante & Wanyama when comparing to a certain player in our team.

    Signing of the season Kante & closely followed by Victor Wanyama.

    Guess Wanyama has scored more goals than Kante as well.

    Wanyama makes that Spud team a lot better than Kante does our team.

    So mighty close. Will go with Kante still.

    DM/CM is the most underrated position.
    Responsible for nothing - no defending / attacking like a certain player last season.
    But they can play a part in everything like Kante & Wanyama does.

    Pogba was funny last night he really looked lost as he had done in a lot of games. Perhaps he'll lose the silly hair and knuckle down and become the next Carlton Palmer.

    I don't think Mr Palmer would like that insult.
